Wrap this trophy up in a Crimson and Blue ribbon and send it to Lawrence; Care of Head Coach Bill Self!!

ROCK CHALK!! 13 STRAIGHT!

And Rece and Jay just agreed that Frank is the NPOY.

@Lulufulu let's win one or 2 more first. Don't be a @drgnslayr

Somehow I just knew Scot Drew would play an integral part in helping us...woohoo!

13 is, for all practical purposes, locked up. The toughest game by far is at Stoolwater. Almamateritis has always plagued Bill there and its time to get a W there - the last time was 2013.

@HawkChamp last year we started diallo, Evans was 🔥 Has he been as good this year?

@Crimsonorblue22 very good. I think we should make it a half court grind it out game.

I say rest Frank on Wednesday. No need getting additional minutes with selection sunday being a few weeks away.

I want what they are smoking

@HawkChamp Man, I gave you a +1 for that priceless "Stoolwater". Believe it or not, I've never seen that before. Almamater-itis, yes, we all wonder...

Stoolwater, OK, despite T.Boone's billions...

Swanigan is going to be a 1st team All-American and is absolutely in the mix for NPOY with 3 weeks left (including the conference tournaments).

I agree that it should be Frank right now with Monk, Ball, Hart, and Swanigan in the conversation as well.

@HawkChamp
stoolwater... PHOF!

@BeddieKU23 I, as you probably know, watch a lot of Big10 ball. He's a beast. Not sure if he's more beastly than Frank though, but I can see him getting some votes. Interestingly, when the kid was 13 he was 6'3" and 360 pounds. Someone spoke some confidence into him and whipped him into shape.

@wissox great story!

He's a very good player. What a smart move to come back. I see him in the top 5 for the wooden watch and he should be there. He's a great story of how a person can change their life around. POY No freaking way

and No. 1 in RPI now, for what it is worth:

So has this win now put us in the driver's seat for not only a number 1 seed, but perhaps the number seed? Of course there is still work to do. And... I'm not sure I even wanna be number one overall... However, let's say theoretically we win out in conference. Or perhaps 3-1(okie state) and then win or make the conference tournament championship. Certainly that could be as many as 5 losses.. hopefully not more than that. Thoughts on this?

@cragarhawk Nah, Gonzaga. If they go into the tournament still undefeated, they will probly get the #1 over all.

@cragarhawk we would have to win out regular season and win the conference tournament to be overall number one. Possible but I don't think that happens

@Lulufulu the committee had them as the fourth number one and Villanova and KU haven't lost since then. They will be a one seed but not overall number one.

@HawkChamp hell yah KU is a one seed. As long as we can play games in KC, its all good. that's basically home court advantage mid way thru the tourney

@HawkChamp

Agree. They were the fourth #1 seed and probably will stay that way since it is highly unlikely the lose one game before the tournament; however, the weakness of their conference schedule hurts them big time.

@HawkChamp but did you think we'd beat Baylor? I say we beat osu, unless coach rests everyone. I don't think he'd do that

@HawkChamp

My agreement was in regards to Gonzaga not being the overall number one. I think the overall number one will be between KU and Nova, they both have strong cases as of today....but things could change...

@Crimsonorblue22 honestly, I didnt. Bill Self has a strong case of chronic almamateritis, so a W there is not expected. It would be nice, but I don't see it.
